The Evangelist’s Commitment to the Local Church
In the last article, The Fellowship in Evangelism, I took a close look at Paul’s letter to the Philippians and showed how the evangelist is not only to preach the Gospel, but he is to love and serve the Body of Christ. I might have made it part one of this article, because it really […]
The Fellowship in Evangelism
October 22, 2012
In opening his letter to the Philippian church, Paul wrote, I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in evangelism from the first day until now… Wait a minute, that must have been a typo. I believe the text reads […]
Characteristics of the Model Church
June 29, 2012
What is the model church? Where should you worship? What are the characteristics of a faithful church? Is your church God-centered, Christ-exalting, and Gospel-driven? How do you know if it is? What do you do if it’s not? The following message from Steven Lawson at the final Resolved Conference last weekend is something every Christian […]
October Baby Compassion
March 29, 2012
Compassion – that is what I walked away with after seeing October Baby tonight with my wife. Compassion for whom or for what, you might ask? The answer may surprise you, but I don’t think it should. More on that in a minute. I am aware of the criticisms about October Baby for not having a […]
Christmas Traditions and Christians
November 28, 2011
This is an article I never thought I’d write. Up until the last few years, Christmas has always been a special time of year for my wife and me. Although exchanging gifts has never been a huge part of Christmas for us, spending time with friends and family, decorating the tree with sentimental ornaments, and […]
What Is Discipleship?
November 24, 2011
While the majority of the church is busy planning programs and activities to entertain their members and increase their numbers, they neglect the way God has ordained for His church to be built and edified. “Christian entertainment” has replaced equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, and instead of discipling disciples to make […]

The Gospel Is for Christians
July 22, 2011
My family traveled to Georgia last week and as we were driving through Atlanta, I got a chance to listen to the Janet Medford Show. I was tuning in late to an interview with Mitchell Chase, author of The Gospel Is for Christians. I had never heard of him before, but this interview was excellent […]
95 Theses to the Modern Evangelical Church
December 17, 2010
Just as Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the Wittenburg Church Door in 1517 to dispute the corruption in the Roman Catholic Church, Sermonindex founder Greg Gordon has posted 95 Theses to the Modern Evangelical Church to the proverbial door of the internet to dispute the corruption in the [post]modern evangelical church. In a […]
The Cult of Personality
October 20, 2010
By Justin Edwards The White Horse Inn blog posted an excellent reminder that pastors are to preach Christ and Him crucified. They are to be known for proclaiming the unadulterated Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and shepherding their flocks in godliness and Christian discipline, not to be primarily known for being hip or humorous.
